I have been PMed that an idea of picking up the RP area would be letting you get some time at other areas. So I will post links to sites of role-playing games.

This one was sent to me. It is a "free play" area and has a fair number of players. It also has a number of different errea types.

This is one I have been a member at for years. It is mainly a D&D site, but also covers other d20 games. It does have an online rule book, so there is no need to buy one. (and I would be willing to start a game, and walk you through the rules of D&D if needed.)

The roleplay academy is well worth checking out. Good standard of RPing but fairly random general area (as if we don't have that here! )

EDIT: The site has since been killed for inactivity....
